FC Juarez Continues To Prepare For Home Playoff Match...

Shortly after landing in the Borderland on Friday morning, the Bravos de FC Juarez had a few hours to settle in from their trip to Toluca before to returning their training facilities to prepare for their Sunday match against Potros de UAEM in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the 2017 Clausura season of the Ascenso MX League.

After a 1-1 tie on Toluca on Thursday in the 1st leg of the home and home series, the Bravos had a light training session on Friday evening especially for those players that participated in Thursday's match. There was no injuries to report after Thursday's match, as all of the players on the roster for FC Juarez will be at the disposal of head coach Miguel Fuentes for Sunday's big match.

Moments after the training session concluded Bravos star midfielder, Mauro Fernandez, met with the media and said the following regarding Thursday's match, "The main thing here is that we had a good match, the series is up for grabs but we have the advantage to close out the series here at home with our people in the stands and I think that that will help a lot. We will be at home, put up a stand, when the starting whistle blows we will be aware that the aggregate score as it stands will be to our advantage (1-1, w/ Bravos having that important visiting goal) still we can't lose our composure, we must remain calm and patient and take advantage of the scoring opportunities we create."

A sell out crowd is expected for the rather unusual Sunday night 7 pm start at Benito Juarez Olympic Stadium.
